Dragons Den star Duncan Bannatyne has landed in Australia ahead of his appearance on I’m A Celebrity.

The 66-year-old health club mogul and Yarm resident has been rumoured to be joining the ITV show for weeks.

But it now seems like its confirmed that the 66-year-old will be heading into the jungle, when he landed at Brisbane airport yesterday.

He is now the fourth celebrity to land in Australia, with author Lady Colin Campbell, former Boro footballer Kieron Dyer and actress Jorgie Porter already in the country for I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!

The rest of the contestants are expected to arrive today.

Other names expected to be involved include reality TV stars, Spencer Matthews and Vicky Pattison, former boxer Chris Eubank, and Yvette Fielding.

Rumours have also been rife that Teesside X Factor winner, James Arthur , is heading into the jungle.

But despite bookies having him at odds of 10-1 to win the show, the Saltburn -born singer has always denied his involvement.

Sorry guys, I’m 100% not,” James tweeted The Gazette. “Focusing on making music. Thanks for all your continued support at the Gazette x.”

I’m A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here kicks off on ITV on Sunday at 9pm.
